She's a good coach and I learn a lot of new things today And I am learning so much that I made a long term commitment

Bernadette (CoachUp client)

Coach Merah,
Has done a great job with my son’s basketball abilities. My son was always to shy to tryout for basketball teams, but know he is eager to tryout because of the techniques that he has learned since his training with Coach Merah. I appreciate her for her patience and time she took to support Christian with learning the skills he needs in order to be successful in basketball. Thank you Coach Merah!!

Dana (CoachUp client)

Very helpful, she knows exactly how to approach each problem and effectively demonstrates a solution.

John (CoachUp client)

That was the best clinic we have been to, including the C's. Coach is very engaging and my daughter loved it. All of the kids get to participate, and the play full court with multiple skill levels at the same time. Most of the skilled kids try to get the newer kids involved. I thought it was great, and my daughter as asked keep her enrolled.

Jen (CoachUp client)

My daughter has had two personal training sessions with Coach Adaeze. She went from not being able to serve the ball and get it over the net to getting it over. Her confidence level is growing thanks to Coach Adaeze. I highly recommend her and look forward seeing my daughter's skills improve even more with continued sessions. Coach Adaeze's skills are amazing and the way she works with my daughter is amazing.

Lori (CoachUp client)

My son is growing into his suddenly tall body. Although he loves recreational ball, he needs help with skills, fundamentals and coordinating his growing body parts. In just one session w Coach Adaeze, I saw immediate improvement! Her analysis is laser sharp, her explanations concise and she gets results. Trying to balance the budget to make these sessions work bc I truly believe they are worth it! She is definitely good at what she does and I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in improving basketball skills.

Kathleen (CoachUp client)

Coach Adaeze was absolutely amazing. After just 1 session with my son I could already see a major improvement. She really knows how to teach and get the kids to understand what to do. She was amazing and we can’t wait to work with her in the future!

Felicia (CoachUp client)

Coach Adaeze is really great. We’ve only had one online session with her. I was scared about the online sessions because it is a non traditional way of coaching but with this being our only option, we gave it a try. Coach Adaeze is very patient and thorough. She gave us a lot of helpful feedback. She made us feel comfortable through this process. We can’t wait for the next sessions with her. Thank you for being a great coach.

Linda (CoachUp client)

My daughter had a great session with Coach Adaeze! My daughter is a college player. Coach Adaeze provided her with a great evaluation of her skills and a great workout! I highly recommend her as a coach!

Jenna (CoachUp client)

What a difference in Sierra's play. She is hitting and serving the ball so much better and has better confidence on the court. After 2 training sessions, as a sophomore just got called up to Varsity.

Nicole (CoachUp client)

Coach Adaeze was instrumental in helping my daughter improve her volleyball skills and increasing her confidence. She covered all aspects and increased her skillset particularly in serving, hitting, and blocking. We are very appreciative of coach's efforts!!

Coach Adaeze was a very good coach. It took a few lessons for her to evaluate my daughter, but she did her homework and provided some great feedback with solid fundamental drills. She broke down her fundamentals with emphasis on her mechanics and we saw immediate improvement. My daughter has continued to show improvement since working out with coach adaeze. I have also noticed her having a higher confidence level and having fun again!

Coach Adaeza,
My son (14) really liked his first session with you and is looking forward to the next session this Friday in Newington. He felt challenged by your drills and understood your insights about basketball. I am excited about him working with you in the future to help him achieve his goals on and off the court. See you soon...

My daughter worked with Adaeze as a beginner in volleyball. She has covered all of the rules of volleyball and reached her goals in just three sessions. My daughter feels much more confident with serving and passing the ball. I would highly recommend coach Adaeze to anyone who wants to be a better player!!!

Kenya (CoachUp client)

Coach D was very helpful in giving me the confidence with my shot. She motivated me and was able to film me in a few of my games. Everything from her mouth was positive talk which I loved! She was also able to give me a few tips on baseline moves and attacking my opponent off the dribble.

Coach was engaging, attentive, flexible, and extremely responsive to the unique needs, skills, and areas of improvement that my daughter brought to the court. I highly recommend her without hesitation. Thank you, Coach!

Carol Samuels (Testimonial)

My Son Prince enjoys the workout from Coach Adaeze. I can really say that the fundamentals has him sweating. We are looking forward to the next five session. On top of this, she is friendly, understanding and very caring. He actually picked her out of all the coaches in the area and I am glad that he did.

Jennifer (Testimonial)

I am so happy to work with Coach Adaeze because when we started I was mainly interested in basketball and when I told her that I wanted to work on my speed. She had me work on my 22 pushup challenge then had me shoot foul shots, at first I could not hit the rim on the first two shots but after a few sessions of training. I got stronger and had a longer endurance. My friends noticed the difference and I signed up for 10 more training session because of the results that I have been gaining with her guidance.
